Antiseptic compounds: some further derivatives of anilquinoline

Abstract

It was shown in a former paper ('Roy. Soc. Proc.,' B, vol. 96, p. 317) that a number of derivatives of amino anilquinoline acted as powerful antiseptics, being especially potent against B. coli . The present communication forms a continuation of this work, and describes further compounds of the same general type. Antiseptic power was estimated as described in the previous paper ( loc. cit. ). The results there recorded pointed to a tendency towards increased antiseptic action as the mass of the molecule was augmented, provided that the "alternate linkage system" was preserved intact.
